Feng Yi

Several months later.

"I never expected to be able to collect seventeen 'Ten Fire of Ten Thousand Households!"

Fang Yu finished collecting the ' Fire of Ten Thousand Households ' from the followers of the last county, obtaining seventeen Ten Fire of Ten Thousand Households, several times more than he had expected.

He truly hadn't expected that in this chaotic world, the desire for 'peace' among ordinary people would generate far more ' Fire of Ten Thousand Households peace' than any other desire.

"Having accepted these mortals' ' Fire of Ten Thousand Households,' I still feel I should do something for them; otherwise, my conscience will always be uneasy, which will be detrimental to my future cultivation!"

Fang Yu murmured something, communicating with the Yuanchen Pearl to sense the true spirits of all the deceased believers during this period.

A spark of true spirit emerged from not far away and came toward him. Then, more and more true spirits emerged and came toward him, continuously pouring into the ' Safe Village ' storage area of fortune that had been specially opened up in his sea of consciousness, merging with that fortune.

Although Fang Yu possessed the purification power of the Yuanchen Pearl, ensuring he wouldn't be tainted by karma even without doing anything, he still planned to collect the true spirits of these believers and send them to the Great Scarlet Heaven Dao of Qi Refining, adhering to the simple belief that one is obligated to those who provide food or gifts.

Although the cultivators there don't treat mortals as human beings either, it's still much better than the ones in the Black-Yellow Realm. At least in the cultivation world, wars rarely affect mortals, while here, mortals are the most basic resources.

Furthermore, these people are reincarnations of true spirits, and they will retain some of the abilities from their previous lives, essentially possessing innate talents. In this new life, even if they still farm, fish, raise horses, etc., they will still live better than other mortals.

Like tiny stars, true spirits emerged continuously from the void. Fang Yu could clearly sense the origin of each true spirit through the Yuanchen Pearl. In just a short while, the number of true spirits gathered from all over Anping Prefecture exceeded 100,000.

The 100,000 true spirits, like countless stars in the sky or millions of sparks, continuously entered the ' Great Peace Village ' region within Fang Yu's sea of Fang Yu. During this time, he experienced the hardships and joys of these people's lives, deepening his understanding of the human world and further enhancing some of his abilities.

For example, if he were to compile his experiences in growing vegetables into a book and put it into the mortal world, it would surely become a treasure.

After an unknown period of time, no true spirit appeared in the world.

During his absence, the true spirits of all the deceased believers were absorbed into his consciousness.

"Call..."

Fang Yu opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt a heavy weight in his mind.

'Experiencing the suffering of all beings is very exhausting, next time...'

Suddenly, he felt a chill run through his body, his body was frozen, and he watched helplessly as the void in front of him began to ripple, and a foot wearing a dragon-patterned boot stepped out from it.

'Walking through the void, this is the Purple Mansion True Person coming to find me. What's going on? Why didn't the Yuanchen Pearl give any warning? Hmm, this person didn't predict my fate, so the Yuanchen Pearl's Fate Weaving ability wasn't triggered. He must have used ordinary methods to find me by following the True Spirit!'

Fang Yu 'Divine Thought flashed, and the next moment he touched the Yuanchen Pearl, confirming that although his body could not move, his thoughts could still communicate with the Yuanchen Pearl, and he could travel back to the Dao of Qi Refining at any time.

He immediately wanted to travel through time, but he stopped himself at the next moment. If he traveled through time in front of the ' Purple Mansion True Person Mansion', he would basically have no chance of returning, as the teleportation point would definitely be guarded here.

After all, the locations he travels to and from cannot be changed; he can only come out of the same place he entered.

The correct choice is to first escape the Purple Mansion's gaze before traversing.

Of course, if this Purple Mansion wanted to kill him, he wouldn't care about anything else and would simply choose to transmigrate.

In a flash of thought, a middle-aged figure wearing a tall crown and a robe with dragon patterns, with a dignified face, emerged from the void. His eyes, shimmering with a hazy light, looked at Fang Yu.

"Which school of thought are you a disciple of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yu found that he could move again. At the same time, the image of the person in front of him, whose Daoist name was ' Feng Yi ', naturally appeared in his mind. He quickly bowed and said:

"Junior disciple Fang Yu of the Goldstone Sect pays respects to True Person Fengyi!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Fang Yu's heart tightened. 'What's going on? Why did I blurt out my real name and background?'

"Goldstone Sect?"

True Person Fengyi looked at Fang Yu with some surprise.

"Fire of Ten Thousand Households, True Spirit Deliverance."

"This Fire of Ten Thousand Households is one thing, but to dare to touch True Spirit Deliverance, especially at my Mount Longmen Daoist Temple, is this an attempt to provoke a Daoist conflict between Mount Longmen and Mount Longhu?"

The person appeared to be speaking to Fang Yu, but Fang Yu didn't feel like they were being spoken to, or perhaps...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A gentle breeze suddenly blew by. "Since you are not a disciple of Mount Longhu, then you may choose to Liberation by Violence!"

Fang Yu was horrified to find that his hand had involuntarily risen, and the Flowing Flame True Fire Sword had emerged from his hand and slowly moved to his neck. He tried to struggle, but it was no use.

' The Purple Mansion True Person is truly terrifying!'

Fang Yu's mind, he connected with the Yuanchen Pearl and was about to escape through the barrier at all costs when suddenly the world darkened, and his hand stopped.

A bright moon appeared in the sky, emitting a cool light that dissipated the gentle breeze.

"Moon-Embracing!"

True Person Fengyi frowned, and the sound of rushing water filled the air, while the gentle breeze that had just dissipated rose again.

At the same time, the Sword Intent bestowed by the ' Moon-Embracing True Person ' in Fang Yu's mind suddenly shone brightly, and the bright moon in the sky transformed into a celestial sword that descended from the sky and slashed towards the True Person Fengyi.

"The river's waters come from the heavens!"

The faint sound of flowing water suddenly roared up, and a great river appeared out of nowhere, its surging waters blocking the Sword Intent.

The terrifying Sword Intent collided with the great river, causing the heavens and earth to change color. Countless rivers poured down from the sky, as if the Milky Way had burst its banks, turning the surrounding area of a hundred miles into a vast swamp.

When the clear light dissipated, Fang Yu's figure had vanished, leaving only True Person Fengyi, who was calculating with his fingers.

'I can't fathom it, I still can't fathom it. What is the purpose of Moon-Embracing sending this person here?'

"The Fire of Ten Thousand Households can be used to repair the ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze,' which is High Antiquity tradition. Could it be that Moon-Embracing has found a clue to the Phoenix Grotto-Heaven, and that this grotto is located in Jingzhou?"

'Then where did he obtain the Daoist lineage of "Azure Splendor Deliverance"? Could it be that Mount Longhu made some kind of deal with him, plotting to seize Phoenix Grotto-Heaven?'

' Jingzhou is the sacred site of my Mount Longmen. Are they trying to bypass Mount Longmen?'

'No, perhaps this disciple named Fang Yu is merely a vanguard used to draw the attention of Mount Longmen, and there are other 'Destined Ones' secretly infiltrated into Jingzhou?'

'They're plotting something while I'm refining the "Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir" at Mount Longmen, when I have no chance to create clones...'

A series of thoughts flashed through True Person Fengyi's mind.

"Right now, the ' Dragon-Tiger Great Elixir ' is the most important thing for Mount Longmen. As long as it doesn't affect its refining, that's fine."

The High Antiquity lineages like Phoenix Grotto-Heaven are riddled with pitfalls, only Mount Longhu has the capacity to resolve them. Moon-Embracing's attempt to profit from them is futile; he will inevitably lose everything.

'Regardless, this Safe Village cannot be allowed to remain. Perfect. Using it as a sacrifice will not only initiate the next stage of refining, but also provide an opportunity to lure out the disciples of Mount Longhu through the Spiritual Qi of the "True Spirit Deliverance." Once we have them under our control, we can profit from the spoils.'
